Tribute to Joe Cook
From Race Director Jim Marino
Dear Runners,
Welcome to the 37th annual Blue Cross Broad Street Run.
Joe Cook was my mentor, friend, and guiding force in the
success of the Blue Cross Broad Street Run for many years. The
race was his baby and he brought it from infancy to the teenage
years with great success. The entire race staff and I were lucky
enough to pick up his great organizational skills as we worked
closely together year after year on the Blue Cross Broad Street
Run, the Philly Marathon, and numerous other activities and
events for the Parks and Recreation Department. He always
kept an eye on me to make sure we were doing things the right
way. I always appreciated his comments and critiques. These
critiques continued to help me build upon his great work. I
have always said that the Blue Cross Broad Street Run was
Joe’s race and that I just happened to be carrying the torch.
Now the Blue Cross Broad Street Run is the sixth largest race
in the country (of any distance) in large part due to the great
groundwork set by Joe Cook. I know I speak on behalf of all of
Joe’s fellow coworkers when I say that it was a true pleasure to
be a part of his team.
This year’s race is dedicated
to the memory of Joe Cook,
Blue Cross Broad Street Run
Race Director from 1982
to 1995.
A Vietnam veteran, and a long time Parks and Recreation
employee, Joe was a gentle, caring, and extremely dedicated
civil servant. Joe’s contributions to the Parks and Recreation
Department programs were quite extensive. In addition to his
role for Broad Street, he played major roles in the formation of
the Philadelphia Marathon, the Dragon Boat Races, the Rowing
Camp at Lloyd Hall, and served on numerous committees that
produced hundreds of athletic contests throughout the city for
more than 25 years.
We cherish our memories of Joe and carry on his legacy.
Thank you,
Jim Marino

“I am proud to welcome runners and spectators to the
37th annual Blue Cross Broad Street Run, the nation’s
largest 10-mile race boasting more than 40,000 runners.
The Blue Cross Broad Street Run highlights the City’s
iconic avenue, Broad Street, a 13-mile street that
traverses a large cross-section of Philadelphia’s distinct
and close-knit neighborhoods. This race provides a great
opportunity to experience many of those neighborhoods.”
-Mayor Jim Kenney
“The Blue Cross Broad Street Run provides more than
40,000 runners with a fun and enriching athletic experience,
and takes them on a scenic journey through a variety of
Philadelphia neighborhoods. Parks & Recreation staffers
are crucial to the success of the race; they have planned and
managed the Blue Cross Broad Street Run for the past
37 years and we couldn’t do it without them. I thank them
for their efforts and I wish all of our runners well.”
-Kathryn Ott-Lovell
Parks & Recreation Commissioner

RACE DAY PARKING
Driving to the race? Below are some tips on
where to leave your car and the best way to
get to the start area.
Parking for runners
There is no parking available at the start area,
on Pattison Avenue, or inside The Navy Yard.
If you are driving, we recommend that you
park at one of the following locations:
• The Stadium Complex in Citizens Bank
Park and the Wells Fargo Center lots
• FDR Park (enter from Pattison Avenue,
across from the NovaCare Complex). One side
of roadway only or vehicles will be towed.
You must park in designated areas and adhere
to parking regulations. The Philadelphia
Parking Authority and the Philadelphia Police
Race Program and Information Guide
Department will enforce normal parking
restrictions. Parking areas are not controlled
by the Blue Cross Broad Street Run and are
made available at the courtesy of various
sports facilities. Cars parked in Citizens Bank
Park lots must be cleared by 11:30 a.m. due
to the Phillies home game.
We urge runners to carpool with each other
and arrive early to park. All lots will open by
5:30 a.m. and will be closed as they are filled.
Once you’ve parked, you may either take
a designated shuttle or the Broad Street
Subway Line to the start area. To find out
how, see page 14.
Visit broadstreetrun.com for the most up-todate status on parking availability on race day.
13
GETTING TO THE START
The start area is located on the grounds of the
Central High School Field at Broad Street
and Somerville Avenue in the Olney section
of Philadelphia.
We recommend using SEPTA, who continues
their support of the Blue Cross Broad Street
Run by making it easy and free for runners to
reach the start area on the day of the race.
Broad Street Line
To reach the start area, runners may ride
SEPTA’s Broad Street Subway Line for free.
Simply display your official race bib to the
cashier at any Broad Street Line station.
You must wear your race bib on the front of
your shirt. Trains will run to the start area
beginning at 5:30 a.m. on the morning of the
race, and SEPTA will provide express trains
from Pattison Avenue. It takes approximately
35 minutes to travel from the AT&T Station
stop near the finish line parking areas to the
Olney Transportation Center, a few blocks
north of the start area.
Express trains, when operating, take about
20 minutes. You may also board a local train
at any other station on the Broad Street Line.
Express trains will run without stopping as
soon as they become full. Center City boarding
14
should be done at the Walnut/Locust stop. The
race will start promptly at 8 a.m. under police
supervision. It is in your best interest to board
a train before 6 a.m. and to allow yourself
time for any unfortunate delays. Departure
times may vary.
Regional Rail
If you are coming from outside of the city,
you may use Regional Rail services to reach
the Broad Street Line. Regional Rail will be
operating on a special schedule.
Shuttle services
Shuttle buses will be located at the AT&T
Pavilion and will take you directly to the
starting line before the race. After the
race, all shuttle buses from The Navy Yard
will bring you back to the parking lots.
Please look for the designated shuttle
bus stops, which will be clearly marked
so that everyone may board safely.
USE SEPTA
Avoid driving altogether and take Regional
Rail into Center City and the Broad Street
Line to the start area. Visit septa.org for train
and subway schedules.

warm-up will begin at 7 a.m. Please stay off
the surrounding streets until instructed by

Please join us in being vigilant of your
surroundings during the Blue Cross Broad
Street Run. If you see a suspicious person,
object, or vehicle along or near the race

enforcement personnel. Do not store, hide,
or leave any personal items, backpacks,
packages, or clothes along or near the race
course, including the start and finish line
areas near Central High School or The Navy
Yard. Please use designated Gear Check
areas to check your personal belongings, or
leave your personal items with a friend or
family member.
Restrooms and water
There will be more than 350 portable toilets
at the start. Please allow yourself enough
time to use the facilities prior to the start of
the race. Water will be available at the start
area at various locations. Look for the blue
water flags. Please hydrate prior to the start
of the race.

CORRAL LINE UP

Gear check
Gear buses
We will distribute clear plastic bags at
the Expo for runners to use when checking
their gear. We will not accept any personal
backpacks or other large bags at gear check
on race day; you must have a clear bag.
You can check your gear on any bus —
buses will not be loaded by bib number.
Look for the yellow school buses near
the starting line to load your gear. At
the finish, display your gear check
identification wristband to the volunteers,
and your items will be returned to you.
For your safety and the safety of others, all
personal bags will be subject to inspection.
When checking your gear on race day, you
will be given two matching wristbands and a
sticker. The wristbands and sticker will have
your bus number and individual bag number
printed on them.
• Attach one wristband to your bag and give
your bag to the gear volunteer.
• Keep the second wristband and sticker
with you. You will need these to help you
find your bus and claim your bag at the
finish area.
• Remember to put some form of
identification in your bag in case we
need to ship your bag back to you after
the race. Be sure to include your name,
address, and phone number. Garments
without a bag will not be accepted. Once
again, no backpacks, suitcases, etc. will
be accepted at gear check. Items left
unattended at the start line will be handled
similarly to how they are addressed by
TSA regulations at an airport.
At the start
All gear check buses will be located on
various streets around the start area
including Olney Avenue, Old York Road,
and Somerville Avenue. No buses will be
on Broad Street this year to allow more
room for the corrals to be set up. Runners
are asked to check their gear early so that
the buses can leave on time. When the first
buses are loaded they will leave for The Navy
Yard. New buses will be opened after the
first buses are filled. Please move quickly
away from the buses after you load your gear
to allow more room for the next group of
runners. Please do this in an orderly fashion
to help our 200 volunteers do their job.
At the finish
Gear pickup at The Navy Yard will be located
at the south end of the Marine Parade
Grounds in the parking lot directly across
Constitution Avenue.
All gear must be checked
onto the buses by 7:30 a.m.

It’s just you versus the finish line.
And nothing’s going to stop you from crossing it. Not your nerves.
Not the early hour. Not that Philly humidity. It’s all about doing what it
takes. Which is what we do every day. From the hip, knee, foot, and
ankle specialists of Einstein Orthopedics to the nationally renowned
MossRehab Running Clinic, we never give up. Just like you. So we’d
say good luck, but we think you’ve got this race in the bag.
